Our blog helps doctors, practice managers and billing professionals understand medical billing and coding. This page explains who writes our articles, how we check them and what we do when something is wrong.
Who writes our articles
Our articles are written by Victoria Reed, a content writer with 6+ years of experience. Each article shows the writer's name and the date it was last updated.
How we write
- Plain language. We write for busy practices, so we explain terms and keep articles practical.
- Reliable sources. Rules and codes come from official sources such as CMS, the AMA and the payers themselves. We link to a source when a point depends on it.
- No made-up numbers. We do not invent statistics. When we give a number, it comes from a source or from data on our own site, and we say which.
- Software tools. If we use AI or other writing tools to help draft an article, a person edits and checks it before it is published.
Our articles are general information
Our articles are not legal, financial, tax, coding-compliance or medical advice. Billing rules change and differ by payer and by state, so check important decisions with the payer or a qualified professional.
Independence
- Billing companies and software vendors cannot pay to be mentioned or praised in our articles.
- Paid positions on our directory are always labelled “Sponsored” and are separate from what we write.
- Advertising on the site is shown by third parties such as Google. Advertisers do not see or approve our articles.
Keeping articles up to date
We review older articles and update them when rules or prices change. When we make a meaningful change, we update the date at the top of the article.
Corrections
If you find a mistake, please tell us through our Contact Us page and include the article and what is wrong. We check every report. If the article is wrong, we correct it and update its date.
